Artist's description:

A framed, original pastel painting depicting an osprey perched on a dead tree, with a backdrop of a dramatic sky. I am particularly proud of this piece as I don't create many pastel works due to how time consuming they can be, but this one seemed to come together exceptionally well from the very first stroke and was an absolute joy to create. I used my set of Ashby soft pastels combined with my Pitt pastel pencils on a sheet of pale grey Pastelmat, my favourite surface. Measuring 18.25 x 12.25 inches, it is presented in a generous white mount with a hand finished, flat natural ash frame to a total size of approximately 28 x 21 inches, ready to hang.
